What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Allwin Powersports Corp is recalling 540 LS2 HH566 casing carbon helmets in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. These helmets were manufactured between January 2011 and January 2012.

The recalled helmets do not meet the minimum performance requirements of the penetration test in ambient and high temperatures. Consequently, they fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets." This defect means the helmets may not adequately protect a rider in the event of a crash.

The recall began in November 2014. Allwin will notify owners, and dealers will replace the helmets with new ones free of charge. Owners may contact Allwin customer service at 1-888-968-9888 or email [email protected]. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
